possums, damp roads, corners and un suspecting guard rails.


Recommended Posts

possum is dead. haha

anyone got a bar, bar reo, and headlight for sale??

i'll give you 600 bucks..

The head light you need are going cheap on ebay i think starting at $45 and no one is buying them so a good chance you could pick one up for cheap. A lady ran a read light and hit my front bar, bent the reo and stuffed up the front bar quoted $150 to fix it and $300 to paint + a bit more damage (Women Drivers :P ). Since she's paying for the repairs i didnt really shop around for prices but im sure you could find a cheaper price some where. You could be able to get your front bar plastic welded but im not to sure if you have to much damage to get it plastic welded, friend got his front bar on his WRX done for $200 (spray and plastic weld no reo fix)

Hope that helps, atleast you cleaned up the possum

do u have that link to the ebay page where the lights are at?

my reo is bent back pretty far but apparently it can be fixed, or we're going to give it a ago.

just the finding the front bar is the problem. no body seems to have any at all.

Rooshoo/Animal repellers. Stick em to your car where there is high air flow. Emits a high frequence sound after 30km/h as the air flows through it and animals ping off ( but dont count on it with wombats though ). $6.95 at Super cheap and you can buy electric powered ones that work all the time while the car is running. One of the best and cheapest insurances against Roos and other animals you can buy.

I'm not to sure but i think the gtst light would fit if your car is a gtr as i think only the indicators were different on the gtr. Anyways the guy that is selling the lights on ebay only has the right one for sale as the rest have all been bought but he always gets more stock in just keep an eye on his store.

There is also some one in the for sale section selling the left hand light ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=68191 )

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
